With just one week before the deadline for candidates to file for mayor and council seats in Malta, Saco and Dodson, there was a lack of competition for some positions and, in a few cases, no candidates at all.

What follows are the races, the candidates and brief statements on why they are running for o...

Dear Editor, Another useless week in Washington - can we deduct from the United States congress a week’s pay for not getting anything done? Oh, but 13 elderly men on a committee with no women, brought forth a new nation's health system. Of course, they had to do it in secret - now one can see why. My insurance premiums will amount to 675% increase over what I pay now. However, included in the measure are lower tax rate deduction for the super-rich. Birds of a feather flock together and all you Trump lovers thought this TV pitchman was going to...
My parents came through for a few days. My real parents.

It is awkward and yes it happens. If you think that you saw my parents here around Father’s Day, yes it probably happened. It lifted my spirit to see or should I say hear my folks coming down the street. They had a piece of their Buick’s undercarriage scraping the...
The month of June is zipping by! The first week of summer has been a bit cool and windy. Still no rain, which we desperately need! The ditches are being swathed and baled as is the other hay.

The adults had a Norweigan horseshoe tournament with about ten teams. A special treat for me was seeing Ruth and John...

Happy Summer! Does anyone know the story behind Cole, Mont.? Cole was located in Phillips County approximately 20 miles northwest of Saco. At one time, it was a flourishing city of 1,000 people. What brought that many people to that area? Fort Peck Dam was a great site for building a dam. Suitable soils were available nearby, rock and gravel were found in the immediate vicinity also. But “toe gravel” was not available at the dam site. It was determined that 4,000,000 cubic yards was needed. Survey’s determined an extensive glacial depos...
